As in the past, the Staff Parish Relations Committee is offering an opportunity for the Trinity Church family to recognize our staff members with a monetary gift for Christmas. This is a perfect time to show appreciation for their efforts. We plan to distribute the gifts after the first of the year. Donations may be mailed to the church, dropped off with the receptionists Monday - Thursday between 9am and 3pm, or Friday 9 am and 12:00 pm or be placed in the offering plate on Sundays. Please make out checks to Trinity United Methodist Church. Please mark "Staff Gift" on memo line of check. The Staff Parish Relations Committee wishes everyone who worships at Trinity, the staff and the many, many volunteers a joyful and blessed Christmas.
